A place to be creative
Art can be a great way to relax, have fun and express yourself.
At Chance to Choose, we encourage members to have their own ideas and make their own choices about what they would like to create.
There is no right or wrong way to make art.
We celebrate everyone's creativity and encourage people to be proud of what they make.
A place to meet people
Chance to Choose is also a social group.
Members can meet new people, have conversations, share ideas and build friendships in a relaxed environment.
For some members, coming to the group is an important chance to get out of the house, socialise and feel part of the local community.
We understand that meeting new people can sometimes feel difficult, so there is no pressure. You can take your time and get involved when you feel ready.
A supportive community
We want Chance to Choose to be a place where everyone feels safe, welcome, respected and included.
We ask all members, volunteers, support workers and carers to treat each other with kindness, dignity, respect and patience.
Bullying, discrimination and unacceptable behaviour are not tolerated.
By working together, we can help make the group a positive place for everyone.
Take part at your own pace
There is no need to be an experienced artist.
Some people enjoy spending the whole session working on one piece of artwork, while others enjoy trying different activities.
Some people simply enjoy coming along for the social side of the group.
You can take part in as much or as little as you feel comfortable with
